I would surf for this stuff myself but my damn job blocks "games" sites . So I call on the AZ faithful for advice.

I spend about an hour a day on an NJT train so I want to play some games on my kid's DSi.

What are some good games that I can play on the train? I want stuff that is fun to play and doesn't require too much thinking

I like "mario" games so I think I will get the super mario DS or whatever it's called.

 

Get an Iphone or touch instead...I got bored with the DS quickly...

 

^Yeah I was thinking about that but they are a lot of coin. I will look at a touch again when the next gen comes out. Are there a lot of good games for the touch? Average game price?

 

There are enough free games to keep you busy. I have probably spend less then $25 on all app purchases to date and I can keep busy on train rides etc. Few casino games, word with friends (scrabble), etc...

 

i play
mario kart
soul bubbles
tetris
zoo keeper

usually

 

I would say Pokémon Heartgold of Soulsilver. Maybe it sounds a bit childish, but it could be great fun for mature people too.

GTA Chinatown Wars is also a great DS game.

 

scribblenauts, wario ware touched, rhythm nation, cooking mama

 

Cool, I didn't know they had GTA for DS.

 

Get an acekard DSi like i have..

i bought it a week after i got my DS and i have over 100 games on it..

cost me 12 bucks and i havent paid for a game yet, the games all work online too.
doesnt require any hacking of your actual DS.. just have to have a computer handy to DL the games onto a Micro SD



ironic part of this is a cop showed me this little gem

 

So I picked up Super Mario and GTA last night. I played SM for about 15 minutes on the train and almost fell asleep
It's a fun game though.

 

btw thanks for the tip about acekard:thief:

 

If you someday want to think a bit, get one of the Ace Attorney series. I have all of them myself.

There's a different version of Final Fantasy III out there that I play every now and then.

Everything else I had in mind were already suggested .. Cooking Mama, you got Mario already, GTA ..

 

I have the TTDS card but I have a DS Lite so it differs. I enjoy Super Mario DS.
